A lactometer operates on the principle of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A lactometer operates on the principle of:
A. Archimedes' Principle
B. Bernoulli's Theorem
C. Newton's Law of Viscosity
D. Pascal's Law
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
A lactometer is a specific type of hydrometer used to test the purity of milk by measuring its relative density. All hydrometers, including lactometers, work on Archimedes' Principle of buoyancy. They float at a depth that depends directly on the density of the liquid; they sink deeper in less dense liquids (like milk heavily diluted with water).
